[PRCo] Re: finally Port Authority starts to restructure around T

[John Swindler]

It's only taken 40 years, Derrick.  See Parsons Brinkerhoff TERL/(Skybus) 
report from mid-1960s.  It has a map showing how bus lines in this area 
would be revised to feed rapid transit.   But even at that time the 44B 
Sunset Hills, 44D and 44E buses fed fixed route transit at Clearview Loop.  
There was also a 49D Linden Grove shuttle bus that I would catch at 
Cretestone.

I see that PAT will not issue a CT transfer to these shuttle bus riders.  
Make them pay a premium for the inconvenience of transfering.  The other 
side is to encourage purchase of passes.

Wonder if some office comments to a new boss helped move this along 
somewhat.
